Wedding Dreams? – Or Nightmares?
Marriage is undisputably one of the biggest decisions most people ever make in their lives. Many a young lady has been planning her wedding day since she first marched her Barbie doll down the aisle to meet Ken. The exhilaration of the engagement announcement can fade far too quickly; turning that same little girl and her storybook wedding dreams into a terrifying horror story.
There’s no need to wake up in the middle of the night screaming in terror. Tossing and turning and sleepless nights are absolutely avoidable. Good news! In my experience in Kansas City Catering, I have learned that wedding dreams really can come true! So, what’s the secret to resting easy during the wedding planning process? The best advice that applies to wedding planning is no different than what you would give to accomplish any complex task. How do you eat an elephant – (or a gigantic piece of wedding cake)? The answer, rhetorically speaking, is one bite at a time.
The wedding planning process in its entirety can be overwhelming. Break it down into pieces; remind yourself of simple slogans, like “one step at a time”, “take it easy”, “how important is it?” Prioritize the planning process. Focus your time, effort and resources on the things that are important to you. Be careful of moving too quickly which may lead to decisions being made with unexpected domino effects. One the other hand (which hopefully is sporting some BLING), be cautious of over-analyzing decisions. Each decision made is an item marked off the proverbial wedding “to-do” list and can add the precious Z’s to a good night’s sleep.
Rest easy! With careful planning and the help of well-qualified resources, your wedding dreams really can come true. Sweet dreams!
